Manx Club

Looking good! Bruce (Meyers) was thinking of turning the intake manifold 180 degrees (air entering from the rear of the car) which would move the turbo to the left & relocate the alt. All of this was to avoid the bump in the back seat area. He had made a custom piece for that. This is going to b...

Your'e welcome. When there is a technical issue that I can help out with, I will post something to help. If not, I just watch, wait to see what some other "expert" comes up with, and try to learn from it. The sender in the CIP1 catalog that is p/n VDO-323-055 is the right threads to replac...

Do you have a add on sump underneath the engine? If you do, look closely, usually there is a boss on the side that can be drilled & tapped for a oil temp sender. If not, you can use a dip stick sender or a oil drain plug sender. I think VDO can supply those, so it should work with your gauge. Do...

The 1 1/2" version has a heat riser connection. I don't know if the larger version has it. If you really want it to look nice, I suggest you buy it uncoated. Clean it up (excess welds, rough surface finish & flange work) and then get it coated. We welded the muffler to the collector to avoi...

We have used switches purchased from the VW dealer, and they don't last long. I am interested in the Ford switch also. I cross drill rotors for a company in Vernon (ECI) who sells brake kits for street rods and muscle cars, and he recommended the Ford switch to me a while back. I will be there tomor...

Thanks Olli - as great of a job as you are doing on your car, it is only a matter of time before you are in Hot VW's also! Just don't hold your breath after they take the pictures, it takes a "while". Just when you think you are on the "cutting room floor" for good, it shows up. ...

Mvovr & jyboyton - Thanks! Kathleen's Manxter is really Kathleen's Manxter. Her name is on the title, not mine. She paid the bills to build it and maintain it. I did most of the building, but, she picked the combination of parts & colors. It was the best "father & son" project ...

Thanks Bob and Diane :hello: Nice to hear from you two!! You 2 are always so quiet! There are those of us who love to hear from you! :D You talk about a beautiful Manxter.....you have the most beautiful color out there!! Your car dazzles!! Tom and I would love to come out for another event!!! Of cou...

OK the picture helps a lot. Is the body hitting on the flat part of the cap, or the raised area for getting leverage to open & close it? It looks like you could taper the raised area in and maybe have clearance? Even then, it may be hard to get the cap off because it goes up at an angle. If you ...

Looking good! Are you going to make it to some of the CT shows this year? I see you alreay have a plate on the car. Was it registered before? Tom

Dave - I have a CB Performance breather on my Fiber Fab, so I am familiar with them. How much interferance do you have with the oil cap to the body? Can it be cut down by removing some of the finger grips? Can it be moved to the passenger side of the box instead of the rear face? It is only made out...

The magazine finally arrived. See the "Congrats Tom & Kathleen" thread for a response. There is another Meyers Manx in the Magazine from down-under. I don't know if you still visit the forum, but if you do, THAT'S ONE SWEET STREET BUGGY, Nat. You have some nice details in your buggy......

THE MAGAZINE FINALLY ARRIVED!!! First came the mail truck, then the dash thru the cold to the mailbox! OH JOY! The magazine is here! :rock: Then came the Happy Dance along with confirming for a few neighbors that I truely am crazy. I tear open the plastic wrapper. What did he say? ....page 64 -65? ...

Thanks everyone!! :D Maybe someday Tom & I will get to see it! We each tried to get the mag @ a bookstore without any luck. Our subscription copy has not arrived yet. We are both anxious to see what Dean Kirsten did for a spread. Although we were there for the orchestration, we have never seen h...

Thanks! We have not seen the article yet, so thanks for the warning. Yes, Kathleen's car is based on a 74 pan, I'll have to see the pictures to see what you are talking about. The pictures (if they are what I am thinking) were taken in June of 2004. We were wondering if they were ever going to use t...
